Months after Madison Local Shcool District voted unanimously to allow armed teachers in schools, a national nonprofit that advocates for gun control, has sent a letter urging administrators to suspend further action.

Parents and students at Madison Local Schools know what's at stake when it comes to school shootings.

On Monday, Everytown for Gun Safety delivered the letter, which included concerns from Erin Gabbard, a parent of two children in the district. Lawyers said all action should be suspended “unless and until a full and thorough disclosure, vetting, and public discussion of these issues has taken place.”

The resolution they voted on, which starts by talking about the safety of students, did stipulate employees selected would have to participate in active-shooter training and have a concealed carry license.

“All of these parents share the Board’s desire to take any and every step possible to keep the community’s school children safe,” the letter said. “However, they strongly disagree with the view that arming teachers, support staff, administrators, and ‘others’ would accomplish this goal."

The letter requests the school district include a discussion of the resolution at its next meeting on July 16.

In addition to lawyers from Everytown for Gun Safety, the Columbus office of the law firm Gupta Wessler PLLC is representing the parents.
